about

Written originally after a break in the long-awaited peace in Ireland. It is universally applicable to any war or troubles worldwide. My protest song. Doesn't everyone write one? This is a huge revisit of a song originally on my first album, "The road to destiny".

lyrics

THE TIME FOR PEACE IS HERE
© Duncan McLauchlan 1999

Throw away your guns and bombs, the time for peace is here.

Some deserve to be remembered, for the seeds of love they’ve sown.
Hold them up, in high regard, for human kindness they have shown.
Some deserve to be reviled, for all the killing they have done.
Slaying fathers and their wives, murdering daughters and their sons.

Hatred and hostility, has no place in society,
We must know that warfare, can have no-part, in our destiny.
Power and greed is at the root, of all, hell-bent on waging war,
No-one sane can justify, what any killing has been for.

CHORUS
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Throw away your guns and bombs, the time for peace is here.
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Throw away your guns and bombs, the time for peace is here.

Whatever the root of all your hate, let the death and carnage cease.
Where’s the sense in spilling blood? We all want to live in peace.
Shout out loud, for all to hear, the voice of folk like you and me,
Who only want to see an end, to endless death and misery.

CHORUS

Stamp out…………………..Stamp out.(background chant) …….
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Let us put an end to war, the time for peace is here.
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Put an end to bloody war, the time for peace is here.
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Put an end to killing, the time for peace is here here
Stamp out the fires of hatred, we don’t want their flames near,
Throw away your guns and bombs, the time for peace is here.
